Giant sized critters are my favorite, but also the least plausible. Big things = big appetites, and no ecosystem can readily support that. If there is any undiscovered giant animal it's gonna be something sedentary with low caloric requirements like a 300 ton deep sea sponge. Still interesting but doesn't have the same wow factor.

>What's your favorite cryptid?

Skunk Ape

>what do you think is most likely to exist?

Lusca: an octopus the size of a giant squid is the subject of legend off the coast of Cuba. According to the story, the creature lives in deep water holes under the ocean and only rises during hurricanes. I once spoke with an American submariner who had sailed through those waters, a place called the Tongue of the Ocean. He said that he would believe anything could be alive down there.

>which cryptid do you REALLY want to be real

Floresiensis

>most bizarre?

That's sort of an unfair question.

Take the Kumiho of Korean folklore, a fox which lives for a thousand years will grow nine-tails with a variety of magic powers which include transforming into humans. Is that a cryptid because it is an animal at some stage of its life cycle? The more bizarre the creature, the less likely we are to call it a cryptid. At some point, we would just call it a monster.

>favorite cryptid story?

There is a particular breed of werewolf from the lore of the Rhine Valley (according to Kenneth Hite). These werewolves transform during harvest time to protect the crops with iron whips from witches and other minions of the devil.

>fav cryptid story

Well, besides the aforementioned Coelacanth because they found it, I find the tales of Megalania very cool, it's a giant monitor that lived in Australia and has been seen in present times by Aussies out in the deserted-as-fuck Aussie inlands (it's like 8m long, poisonous bite and can outrun a horse, a real land dragon).

However, I'd also like to add that there are too many tales from history, Native Americans, Middle-Easterners, and archaeological finds gone missing (or declared untouchable, like all of the mounds in the US) about Giants for them not to have been real.

>>17624

>giants

>real

Yeah but probably not the way you were hoping for. Remember historically people were shorter than the modern average, so individuals seen as "giant" in history would be rather unimpressive now. Take the biblical Goliath- while later writers paint him as a ten foot monster wearing more armor than a Bradley tank (literally, some very imaginative rabbis give weights of 60-120 tons for his armor) the dead sea scrolls and other early texts peg him at a much more reasonable 6' 9". Still quite intimidating to the 5 foot and under manlets of the time but now nothing to write home about.

It's quite possible that isolated tribes with good genetics could routinely make the 6 foot range, and everyone would see them as monsters. Or just like today, rare individuals would reach 7 or 8 feet. Impressive now, mind blowing then. But you have to remember, compared to most of history, we are the giants.

Yes, but you assume they're humans. The giants I spoke about in the mounds of the US are supposedly not humans. Humanoids,yes, but not of our type. The indians and original archaeologists that got a hold of finds spoke of two rows of teeth in their mouths, for example. That's clearly another critter there, so to make assumptions about bone density (for its ability to support weight) and so forth can't be done by our standards.

While this vid does go into Annunaki shit later on, the early shit on Bigfoot is really eye-opening.

I'll break it down:

>pre-human bones incredibly thick, built for tons of muscle like an ape

>even neanderthals are nothing like humans

>neanderthal fossils disappeared around the same time human fossils began appearing

>neanderthals never went extinct, they were just pushed from the plains (where lots of fossils can be made) into the forest (forest-dwelling creatures rarely ever make fossils) by our ancestors

>pre-humans weren't just thick-browed humans like the science jews tell you, they were more like upright apes

>sasquatch, the ama, yetis, they're all living neanderthals

>inb4 why haven't we found one?

It's incredibly fucking hard to find one because humans aren't made for woods-trekking. Pandas are very hard to find, and they're brightly-colored, slow, dumb and diurnal, so imagine how hard it would be to find a dark, quick, highly-intelligent and nocturnal creature.

Finally, some evidence stuff:

>there are certain tell-tale signs that show if a footprint is real or fake

>a foot has moving muscles and bones, a fake is just one solid object

>patterson film is real, you can see muscles rippling under the skin, and the sasquatch has tits (>inb4 gb2 deviantart)

I fucking love Bigfoot.


 No.17977

The creature captured in the Patterson film had a lot of things going for it. The musculature, the skeletal structure, the posturing and gait. Not saying it can't be fake, but if it is a hoax it's a damn good one with a hell of a lot of thought put into the details.

I have some studies but i don't want any trouble so think about me like another faggot in the internet telling lies. Its easier to track chickens to dinosaurs than humans to "ancient humans" and all that crap started because you have to choose, blacks are a different specie or all "sapiens" are the same and science already chose blacks neanderthal, florensis, denisovans, etc being differents species. Fun fact, even India has better records and views in human evolution than the west and all thanks to the need to ingratiate cultural marxism with real science.


 No.18051>>18080

>>18019

>>18019

Post more info if you feel comfortable, I've been thinking a lot that this may be the case. The idea that modern European descended humans are still homo sapiens with only trace lines of neanderthal dna is better for the "one race human race" narrative but from what I've seen there's at least as much evidence that it's the other way around, that "whites" are more accurately evolved neanderthals with some sapiens dna, with most "blacks" being pure or nearly pure sapiens and other racial lines being more even hybrids. Note that I do feel rather trepidatious breaching this subject since I know fucking stormfags are gonna jump on it as proof for their narrative that "niggurs r subhoomen" when really that's not what this is fucking about. It's not culture, it's science, but apparently no one can tell the difference anymore.

The problem is clasification, classic says that negroids are a different specie, simple as that but you can't say that so western science is ruined by double standard.

You have two solutions:

A.-A new system with nigs, cavemans, etc like the same specie with different races.

B.- The same system and accept blacks as a different specie and asians and whites being different races of the same specie. We aren't prepared for this.

The problem is that the first system will change everything, all bio books will be obsolete and you will have to rearrange everything according to "muh feelings", the second will be worse.

>>18052

Well, i am not an indian so i don't know but we have to remember that "marxist science" was implying that "evolution" "stopped" like 10.000 years ago (they were probably aiming at Nevali Cori or domestic wheat, i am not sure, but is almost the same place and time), apus showed facts against that "out of my ass theory" and not only that, but they proved how evolution acelerated a lot since that time and how "racemixing" is ruining every "bio achievement".

I would actually like it to continue, just for confirmation. It has only happened one time that I've noticed (if it even was that, which I remain unsure of)… what signs should I look for? And how would I ask them to stop, or promote similar behavior in the future?

From those two options, my intuition told me fairy (as well as the weird trickery stuff that I just read about), but the whole "night time behavior" thing may indicate gnome from what I've read.

Since some of you mentioned giants, I figure you'll like this article. It's about one of the three types of Yeti, the really big one (4-5 metres high). It also suggests that they might be highly intelligent, which I found interesting. I can't help but be reminded of the ice giants fought by Thor in Scandinavian folklore. Maybe once upon a time this type of creature was also found in Europe.

I would think that they are two different animals. I'm pretty sure Jotun were intelligent enough to use steel, whereas the Nyalmo is supposed to only use wood/bone tools. Plus, the Nyalmo sound more sasquatch-like in appearance.


 No.28838

Is bigfoot a ghost? When you consider all the evidence, this theory is not as absurd as it might seem at first glance. Because that's the problem with a lot of bigfoot research: in order to fit the stories into a 'plausible' theory (bigfoot as a yet-undiscovered man-ape), the researchers have to ignore or discard many reports that contradict it. I'm not sure bigfoot is a ghost (what exactly is a ghost anyway?), but the reality of bigfoot encounters is certainly stranger than most people might think.

The green lights seem to connect bigfoot to ghosts and other paranormal phenomena, which I find intriguing. Do sasquatches and ghosts come and go from the same place?

An account of a 5,4 metre tall giant captured and killed in the year 922

I set out on horseback with them and reached the river. I found myself face to face with the man. I saw that judging by the length of my own forearm, he was twelve cubits tall [c. eighteen feet tall?]. He had a head the size of the largest cooking pot, a nose more than a span long, huge eyes, and fingers more than a span in length. His appearance frightened me and I had the same feeling of terror as the others. We began to speak to him, but he did not speak to us and only stared.

http://www.strangehistory.net/2016/07/03/tenth-century-sasquatch/

The story doesn't mention if the giant was just a giant human or more animal-like, but since they tried speaking to it, I suppose they expected a response, so I find the first option more likely. This is the only report of its kind that I know of. Giants are very common in ancient myths, but this story is relatively recent, dating back to the middle ages, and it's not a legend.

I won't do the whole list, but my favourite cryptid/one I want to exist is this tiny little zebra-striped animal in Africa, the size of a dog. Just sounds like a comfy pet. Can't recall it's name and it's not on the list of Cryptids on Wikipedia, which is where I first found it.

>>17738

It sounds like there a million monsters out here, but there really isn't.

We do have obscenely strange animals compared to the rest of the world, but things like that giant komodo lizard can't possibly exist without being detected. We do actually monitor the outback for things like Brumby (wild horse) populations, and would notice something like that.

Probably. There's a bunch of Aboriginal people who have only seen white people when they drop off medical/food supplies.

That being said, there's no pure blooded Aboriginees left, they've all been mixed.

Kind of related, but I've grown up Christian with Christian parents. Well, they turned Christian when I was around 10 or 11, and I fully accepted Christianity personally when I was around 14. I'm 20 now and still strong in the faith. Anyways, I was always an avid /x/ lurker, and cryptids always fascinated me. So after I read a few stories ITT, I decided to ask them their opinions since they were more theologically literate in this category (my mom being the type that loves alien conspiracies). I was kind of surprised to hear that biblical, there is nothing to discard the existence of most cryptids, especially the skinwalker/goatman/yeti/wendigo kind. Rather, since we are ever so close to the end times, the occurrence of such creatures should be more common. Witchcraft, demon-worship, and the return of all sorts of black arts are probably contributing to these things. Notice how demonic possession was at an all time high when Jesus came around? Likewise it will be when He returns for the second time. That being said:

>Favorite cryptid

Skinwalkers.

>likely to exist

Pretty much all of them.

>REALLY want to be real
